Actually, the pin ioctl() has been here for quite some time, since the introduction of GEM, see: http://lwn.net/Articles/283798/ section 8.2 That's why one side is arguing that it's not acceptable to break user-space (open or closed , it doesn't matter at this point). Daniel is saying that's a legacy artefact and it shouldn't be used anymore, but breaking a user-space application is enough for me to at least suggest a revert.
